Verse 1:
G
Midnight, I'm a-waiting on the 1205 
                                                    C
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line 
G
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise 

Won't you keep my heart from breaking 
                              C
If it's only for a very short time 


Chorus:
D                C        G       D                G      C
Playing with the Queen of Hearts, knowing it ain't really smart 
                    D    G            C     D         G
The joker ain't the only fool, who'll do anything for you 
D           C      G    D                G       C
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime 
                 D       G      C        D        G
That's what I'll have to do, to keep me away from you 


Verse 2:
Baby, it makes me feel so bad 
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done 
And baby, I know it makes you sad 
But when they're handing out the heartaches 
You know you got to have you some 


Chorus


Verse 3:
Lovers, I know you've had a few 
You hide your heart beneath the covers 
And you tell 'em they're the only one 
And others know what I'm going through 
It's so hard to be a lover 
When you say you only do it for fun 


Chorus (Rpt. last line x3)
